During winter the Alpine snowfields near Myrtleford (Mount Buffalo, Mount Hotham and Falls Creek) offer fantastic options for skiing and snowboarding, toboggan and cross-country trails, snow tubing, snowshoe walks, guided activities and family fun. Driving to Mount Hotham or Falls Creek takes about one and a half hours weather permitting.

Myrtleford is steeped in history with the Post Office opening on 26th July 1850 as Myrtle Creek and was renamed Myrtleford in 1871. The main road through the town was originally called Buckland Road, today it is now known as the Great Alpine Road.

Myrtleford has a temperate climate with more rain in winter than in summer: a subtropical highland climate. Myrtleford has become an all-year-round destination with short drives to the snowfields in winter and biking and walking experiences all year round. Mount Buffalo provides a dramatic backdrop for stunning walks in and around Myrtleford.

Visitors and travelers can use Myrtleford as a base to experience some of the many amazing drives – Lake Buffalo, Gapsted Pass, Mount Stanley, Alpine Discovery Loop or get on your bike and ride the famous Mountain Rail Trail which runs through Myrtleford right out the front of Motel on Alpine.

The Mountain Rail Trail is 100km fully sealed cycle path along the old Wangaratta to Bright railway line. The trail suits all riders with a gentle gradient, offering beautiful vistas, wineries, farm gates and lovely villages of the Ovens Valley along the way. For a shorter ride or walk in the heart of Myrtleford, take the Ovens River Loop; a 5.6km trail from Rotary Park directly opposite Motel On Alpine. Follow the Ovens River on a journey of discovery. Admire the beautiful birdlife and the handy work of local mosaic artists 'The Two Crackpots' along the way. This is a fantastic fun activity for adults and children alike.
